Annual Wellness Visit (AWV)

MPS Value Turn-Key Process:
​
-
Our Patient Navigators contact eligible patients on behalf of ACO providers to complete pre-AWV questionnaire (approximately 30-45 minutes) freeing up valuable time at the practice level.
-
We schedule patients with practice or directly into EMR for providers to complete the AWV visit (approximately 10-15 minutes).
-
MPS proprietary AWV software creates compliant, actionable deliverables for providers and patient
-
Personalized Prevention Plan (PPP)
-
Interpretative Provider Summary (including prioritized care gaps and eligible services)
-
Billing Summary (including risk-adjustment and patient satisfaction)
-
​
Additional AWV options include direct data entry to practice EHR and practice / network licensing of MPS proprietary AWV software solution.
